MASSIVE protest marching through Manhattan right now against the ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

Endless stream of people chanting “No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA.” Easily a thousand people. Zero NYPD presence.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl
